Just a quick update, after reading all these posts I started feeling really hosed. So I started making a few calls to our marina and others and I have found a new slip(about 50 yards from my current slip) in the $9.00 a foot range which is better than the $13.00 I pay now. Any way thanks for saving me some boat money. It is next to the smelly fishing guys/gals so I guess you do get what you pay for, however I was buddys with them before so now I will be even more cozy with them. LOL The guy missing his thumb was always great to get diesel advise from. He's a ex-diesel mechanic.
